A new member of Diamond Mine was revealed during Tuesday’s edition of NXT from the WWE Performance Center.
In a backstage segment on NXT, tensions between Roderick Strong and The Creed Brothers continued to build as Brutus and Julius informed the former NXT North American Champion they had a rematch with The Viking Raiders on next week’s show. This follows Strong’s interference in The Creed Brothers’ last match against Ivar and Erik.
After The Messiah Of The Backbreaker had listened to Brutus and Julius, he unveiled Damon Kemp as the latest member of Diamond Mine. The Creed Brothers then said new members were supposed to be a group decision, something Strong seemingly ignored.
Real name Bobby Steveson, Kemp signed with WWE in 2021 and made his NXT debut on the January 11, 2022, episode in a loss to Cameron Grimes. He has also performed on NXT UK and NXT Level Up in recent months.
Kemp is the brother of Olympic Gold Medallist Gable Steveson.
Kemp joins Roderick Strong, The Creed Brothers, and Ivy Nile in Diamond Mine. Hideki Suzuki, Malcolm Bivens, and Tyler Rust were previously members of the faction but they have all been released by WWE over the last year.
